We use our champagne glasses <br />for our pop, our juice and milk. <br />We cover our dog's bedding <br />with ''dry clean only'' silk. <br /> <br />We fix our favorite dinners <br />with the best we can afford. <br />So what if we eat pot-pies <br />on china plates you've stored. <br /> <br />What good are all the fancy things <br />if they are never used? <br />I like to say my stuff's 'broke-in' <br />(you might call it 'abused') . <br /> <br />My antique gravy boat makes the <br />perfect pencil case. <br />Somehow the crystal vases <br />seem a little out of place. <br /> <br />Paper plates and china... <br />they both attend our meals. <br />We like to use our fancy things <br />to know just how it feels. <br /> <br />Why wait until you make it big? <br />You might not see tomorrow. <br />If you run low on crystalware <br />we've got some you could borrow!<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-re-just-fancy-like-that/
